Abstract
Among various construction problems facing us in today's Japan are rapidly aging society, decrease in constructor, etc. Therefore, there is an urgent development of a robot to assist the construction industry. However, there is not raised remarkable achievements now. Particularly, in the field of the bridge investigation and inspection, a lot of robotization is considered to be a prime task when location is severe environment. However, it is the present conditions that inspection often becomes difficult, and clear result is not achieved by climatic condition. Next, we compared the 3 different types of robot the respective specifications. Therefore, we have developed a new bridge investigation and inspection robot system RoBInS that does not depend on the weather conditions. In addition, we report the demonstration experiment.
